Title: Big Bag Beauty
Review: The bag was good quality. It’s very spacious. The space was much more than I could imagine. The versatility of the bag is convenient for travel purposes. Because I’m short, the large size didn’t offer a comfortable carry, sadly. The vibrant color and water resistant textile make it a winner for large carry bags. However the price is a bit steep for the open compartment backpack!

Title: UP your travel game
Review: A very roomy bag with all of the straps and pockets in the right places! I love the color theme I chose its vibrant, easy to spot, and I would be able to easily describe it if lost while traveling. EASY to haul!

Title: Not As Good As Smaller Version
Review: I’ve been a fan of Baboon to the Moon for a while and own a couple of their smaller Go-Bags, which I really like. So, I was excited to try out the Go-Bag Big for longer trips. Unfortunately, this version didn’t impress me as much. It still looks cool and comes in great colors, but I found it less practical and not worth the $195 price tag.The zippers are a big issue for me. They’re tough to open and close, especially when the bag is full. I’ve had to fight with them more than once, which gets frustrating fast. Also, the backpack straps feel like they’re always in the way when you’re trying to pack or zip the bag—something I didn’t notice with the smaller versions. For such an expensive bag, I expected smoother design and better usability.Another downside is how easily the outside fabric gets scratched. I barely used it on one trip and already noticed marks on the surface. It doesn’t affect how the bag works, but it does make it look worn out quickly. Also, the bag can get really heavy, and the padding on the backpack straps just isn’t enough to carry that weight comfortably for long.I think this Go-Bag looks great and still has that fun vibe, but it’s not the best choice if you’re looking for comfort or durability. For $195, you’re basically getting a large duffel with a few backpack features that don’t work as well as they should. I’ll be sticking with the smaller Go-Bags for now.

Title: Poorly designed – straps inhibit zippers
Review: I’m disappointed with this bag. Unfortunately it is poorly designed. It is difficult to unzip as the carrying straps get in the way, even when on adjusted to the loosest setting. The zippers stick and do not move freely and easily.Having said that, it could be useful for travel given that it can be worn as a backpack, especially if you are traveling with multiple bags.Price at $195, it seems expensive for what it is.

Title: Heavy duty for years of abuse
Review: I wasn’t sure what to expect with this product at this price point, but I am pleasantly surprised. This is made of high quality material that seems waterproof and super durable. It has heavy duty straps and fits a ton. The design may seem basic, being that it is basically one large compartment, but it works. There is a zippered top section and one small pocket in the front but that is it. Also, it is stitched on the out side with the ribbon type loops and handles all around. You can attach accessories as needed. If you want a premium duffle that you will get a lot of use out of, this is your bag.

Title: Nice Bag but with Some Design Flaws
Review: This is a very good quality Big Go-Bag Duffle by Baboon to the Moon, though it does have a few design flaws. The bag is comprised of a heavy-duty PVC fabric with 150D OM Stardust Polyester lining, it’s water-resistant and the navy color is stunning. The bag feels rugged and durable. The interior of this duffle is very spacious, though getting into it is a challenge. The backpack straps make getting into the packing space challenging, if the straps unbuckled the issue could be solved. The zipper to the main compartment sticks, it doesn’t glide smoothly and with the branded zipper pull tethers attached there is no way to add your own TSA lock for security of your packed items. If you remove the branded tethers a TSA lock can be looped through the zipper pulls and the contents can be secured.Once you are in the main space; you have a roomy compartment for all of your clothes, a large zippered mesh pocket on the top flap (with a key leash), as well as an open mesh pocket at one end and a zippered pocket on the opposite end. The exterior of the bag also has a zippered pocket – a good size for glasses, passport, but remove everything before checking the bag.This is the check-in size Go-Bag, although I would be concerned checking this bag without some sort of suitcase protector on it – the shiny exterior of this bag will be ruined after getting thrown about a plane and tossed around at baggage claim. If you are comfortable carrying a large backpack this may work for you. However, since this bag folds flatly and very compactly, I’ve used this bag as my 2nd checked bag on the trip home. I pack this flatly on the bottom of my bag and use it for all of the things I accumulate along the way during my travels so it’s only a full backpack for the journey home. This Big Go0Bag has worked well as my 2nd checked bag and I do use a suitcase protector on it to keep it from being damaged once given to airline baggage handlers. Overall I like this bag but if I had known about the design flaws prior to my purchase I may not have ordered it.
